Nathan Hunter, an Air Force Office of Special Investigations special agent assigned to Luke AFB, Ariz., has received the Bronze Star medal for his meritorious service during a six-month deployment to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. “It is the greatest honor of my career,” said Hunter upon receiving the medal during a ceremony earlier this month at Luke. Hunter is credited with collecting, assessing, and providing a key piece of counterintelligence data that led security forces to neutralize six insurgents. “I can’t take all of the credit for the award, because it was a group effort to complete the mission,” he said, adding that, “The biggest reward was the amount of lives we saved.” (Luke report by Amn.
